My Story…

Hi Everyone, this Mother’s Day, I will be running 10K to help raise money and awareness for Camp Ooch. Last year, my brave cousin, Severino, lost his battle to Leukemia. During his time at the hospital, the counsellors from Camp Ooch always helped my cousin smile and feel better. It was so sad to say goodbye to my cousin. Please help me raise money for Camp Ooch so that they can help other children who are fighting this awful disease. I would like to help put a smile on the faces of other cancer patients - and Camp Ooch will do just that. Thank you for your generosity! Love, Antonio Ventrella

Description

Help send kids affected by childhood cancer to Camp Ooch!

A diagnosis of childhood cancer is a big, scary, sudden swerve in the road, changing life in an instant. 

For affected families, it can feel like everything is about cancer. Simple, childhood joys like friendships, birthday parties, or sports teams are left behind in the need for medical appointments, hospital stays, and long absences from school.

For over 35 years, Camp Ooch has offered a different path – the healing power of fun, friendship and self-confidence, and the joy of kids getting to just be kids! 

Often referred to as the social cure for cancer, Ooch provides programming at an overnight camp in Muskoka, at SickKids in Toronto, in specialized paediatric centres and in communities across Ontario. Camp Ooch is the only overnight camp in Canada to offer onsite IV chemotherapy and blood transfusions. 

Camp Ooch is a privately funded, volunteer-based organization that relies exclusively on the generous support of fundraisers, corporate donors and individuals, like you.

Ooch changes the lives of over 1,500 kids affected by childhood cancer every year. However, almost 80% of kids with cancer in Ontario don’t have access to the wonders of camp. You can help change that.

Cancer changes a child's life.  So does Camp.  And so can you.
